肖申克的救赎读后感 20年，不长，却足以让我们的棱角磨平，失去往日的光彩。 20年，不长，却足以让我们忘记当初的梦想，为生活而生活。 20年，不长，却足以让我们由一个妙龄少女变成一个大妈。 ------献给将要踏入社会的人，任何时候都不 要忘记自己的梦想。

在看电影版的《肖申克的救赎》之前，我先读了文字版的《肖申克的救赎》，感受颇深！我始终认为，能够触及我内心最深处的东西，才会感动我！毫无疑问，《肖申克的救赎》感动了我。一开始认为安迪肯定监狱悲苦的渡过一生。可是最后，结局虽不是法律范围以内的，却是我们所有读者心中所想的那种结果。我们会跨越法律的界限，为这个真正善良的，真正懂爱的人感到高兴！这部小说中，有三个方面是我感受特别深的!

其一是狱友情。肖申克，当走进这个地方，转身门闸锁上，才明白，这是玩真的，转眼间，一生就毁了，只留下无穷无尽的悔恨，不知道会这里待多久，也许也将忘记在这里度过了多少岁月，恍惚间记得典狱长说过“把信仰寄托给神，把贱命交给我”。但在这里，他们也有自己的朋友，他们也有真挚的友谊！安迪通过自己的智慧和勇气为犯人朋友们赢得了冰啤酒、图书馆以及尊严、自由。安迪也幸运地没有站错队，他拥有了在肖申克中唯一可以倾诉与分享秘密的朋友，瑞德。在他成功逃出后以及瑞德在入狱四十年之后他们这对在狱中的好

友再次拥抱在一起，在狱中的生活了几十年的他们早已经习惯了彼此。相反，那些在生活、身份顶端的典狱长们，他们只有自私、狭隘，只是他们利用自己的权利把自己的一切罪行掩盖了而已。生活中，我们人人都需要朋友，需要志同道合的朋友，需要能在灵魂深处交流的朋友。也许，我们越来越发觉，交一个这样的朋友越来越困难，但是如果你拥有这样的一个朋友，一定要珍惜。

其二是感叹我们在无形中被体制化以及体制社会的不公平。“监狱是个怪地方，起先你恨它，然后习惯它，更久后，你不能没有它，这就叫体制化。”也许四面白墙禁锢的是我们的身体自由，然而体制化禁锢的却是我们的灵魂，这是它最可怕的地方。或者你会认为体制化离我们很远，其实只要你细心观察，体制化就存在我们身边，它像一只无形的手，时时刻刻影响着我们。有时，我们会不难听到别人在说：“我不干这个行业，还能干什么呢？”这就是体制化的结果。

一个清清白白，没犯过罪的人却要被冤枉入狱，我想这是任何人都接受不了的。可是谁能帮你证明，你是无辜的。法律不是十全十美的，它始终有自己的缺陷。所以有些人就是这种体制下的牺牲品。呐喊、冤屈能有什么用？谁能真正替你伸张正义？自私的典狱长，为了满足自己的私心，竟设计杀了知道内情的证人，人性在欲望、金钱、权利面前一露无疑。人性的可怕，社会的不公平，只是多让一个人对这个社会更加绝望。《肖申克的救赎》让我再次了解到，社会不可能对每个人都是公平的，我们必须要靠自己的双手去创造自己的生活。

第三点也是最触动人心的就是安迪追逐自由、永不放弃的精神。

在肖申克漫长的监禁中，真正囚禁的并不是被高墙束缚的躯体，而是被肖申克渐渐打磨，锻造的失去了自我的内心，失去了对生活的热情，梦想还有希望。 但安迪并没有成为肖申克真正的俘虏，他扔怀着对生活的向往与对自由的渴求。 典狱长的贪婪与罪恶让安迪找到了改变自己命运的契机。他用那把藏在圣经里的小石锤挖了那条在任何人看来不可思议的隧道。他挖了19年，精心策划了19年，也在会被别人发现的危机感与恐惧中度过了19年。 终于有一天，他鬼魅般地从紧闭的牢房中消失，窗外的阳光撒进不足4平米的小空间，简单而明了，他逃狱了！带着典狱长所有来历不明的钱与那个空名的身份，奔向了他向往已久的自由。他爬过狭窄的隧道，再爬过充满污水的管道，通向了肖申克所束缚的区域外，在污水中洗净了他的罪恶，在彼岸洗净，重生，然后奔向了他的泽华塔尼。

“有些鸟儿天生就关不住，它们的羽毛太鲜明，歌声太甜美，也太狂野了。”一个人怎样看待自己，这就决定了她的命运，或者说，指明了他的归宿。而归宿则要有坚定的信念去支撑。安迪坚定的信念与对自由执着的追求，使他战胜了充斥着冰冷与最邪恶人性的肖申克。当看到安迪从肖申克成功逃离时，我仿佛看到信念刺穿重重黑幕，在黑夜中打一道夺目的霹雳，亮光之下，我孱弱的灵魂在黑暗中现形，并且颤抖，久久无法平息......

Background Adapted from Stephen King's novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption , the Shawshank Redemption is not a Reiner movie per se . It is a production of Castle Rock Pictures (Reiner's film company), and ranks among the best filmed versions of any King stories to date . Published in 1994 , it nearly defeated Forrest Gump in the Oscar award. Filmed on location in a disused Ohio prison, the Shawshank Redemption is set in a place of perpetual dreariness. What little color there is drab and lifeless (lots of grays and muted greens and blues) , and there are times when the film is a shade away from black-and-white (give credit to cinematographer Roger Deakins, a longtime Cohen brothers collaborator) . First time feature director Frank Darabont helms a fleet of impressive performances. In this movie , Red narrates a fantastic story happened to Andy , a reserved banker , who is wrongly judged and put into Shawshank Prison for life sentence . Andy survives from the sisters’ sexual harassment , then voluntarily offer financial service to those guards and warden ; on the basis of the clout he thereby acquires , Andy subsequently transforms the prison library into a source of learning and contact with the outside world for all the inmates . After the dubious death of the young mate , aware that his release is out of the question , Andy strengthens his will to gain freedom by his own hands. 39 years later , in a storming night , crawling through the tunnel he chipped for unknown years and a 500 hundred yards sewer, Andy manages escaping and finally arrives Zihuatenejio , a fairy place in Mexico by the Pacific Ocean . The Shawshank Redemption is not a depressing story .There is a lot of scalding irony and humor in it, and warmth in the friendship that builds up between Andy and Red .

There is even excitement and suspense, although not when we expect it. But mostly the film is an allegory about holding onto a sense of personal worth, despite everything. If the film is perhaps a little slow in its middle passages, maybe that is part of the idea, too, to give us a sense of the leaden passage of time , before the glory of the final redemption . As to the perfect performance in this movie , the several leading characters makes great contributions.

Tim Robbins, as Andrew Dufresne, plays the wrongly convicted man with quiet dignity. Andy's ire is internal; he doesn't rant about his situation or the corruptness of the system that has imprisoned him. His unwillingness to surrender hope wins him the admiration of some and the contempt of others, and allows the audience to identify with him that much more strongly.

Ellis Boyd Redding (Morgan Freeman), or Red , as his friends call him, is the self-proclaimed Sears and Roebuck of the Shawshank Prison (for a price, he can get just about anything from the outside). His is the narrative voice and , for once, the disembodied words aid, rather than intrude upon , the story . Serving a life sentence for murder, Red is a mixture of cynicism and sincerity - a man with a good soul who has done a vile deed . His friendship with Andy is one of The Shawshank Redemption's highlights.

Ultimately , the standout actor is the venerable James Whitmore, doing his finest work in years . Whitmore's Brooks is a brilliantly realized character , and the scenes with him attempting to cope with life outside of Shawshank represents one of the film's most moving and effective sequences.

2. Theme

The Shawshank Redemption has nothing to do with love , but a film about friendship , hope and freedom .

Hope, more than anything else, drives the inmates at Shawshank and gives them the

will to live. Andy’s sheer determination to maintain his own sense of self-worth and escape keeps him from dying of frustration and anger in solitary confinement . Hope is an abstract , passive emotion , akin to the passive, immobile, and inert lives of the prisoners. Andy sets about making hope a reality in the form of the agonizing progress he makes each year tunneling his way through his concrete cell wall . Even Andy’s even-keeled and well-balanced temperament, however, eventually succumb to the bleakness of prison life. Red notes that Tommy Williams’s revelation that he could prove Andy’s innocence was like a key unlocking a cage in Andy’s mind , a cage that released a tiger called Hope.

This hope reinvigorates Andy and spreads to many of the other inmates in the prison. In his letter addressed to Red, Andy writes that “hope is a good thing,” which in the end is all that Red has left . Red’s decision to go to Mexico to find Andy is the ultimate proof of Red’s own redemption , not from his life as a criminal but from his compromised state, bereft of hope and with no reason to embrace life or the future. Red’s closing words, as he embarks tentatively onto a new path , show that hope is a difficult concept to sustain both inside the prison and out .

Never a moment dose Andy cease his hope . It is still impressive that the peaceful and quiet smile appears on Andy’ face when he watch his inmates drinking his cool beers freely and when he immersed in Mozart’ Le Nozze di Figaro . His inner hope stimulates him keeping forward regardless of the cruel reality . And hope is his gift to his friend Red, who no longer even tries to impress the parole board at his hearings . The power of hope can never be neglected . Hope is a good thing , maybe the best of things , and no good thing ever dies .

3. Conflicts

3.1 Bible VS Rock hammer

第 页 共 9 页

Warden Norton embodies the hypocrisies and contradictions of the penitentiary system . The national exposure and adulation he gets for his “Inside-Out” program belies and conceals the corruption that prevails during his tenure and the campaign of threats, intimidation, abuse, and excessive cruelty he employs to maintain control of the inmates. At times aligned with images of death , his face is compared to a cold slate tombstone—Norton is a self-deluded despot who justifies his exploitation and the promotion of his self-interest at the expense of others in the name of his faith and the fire-and-brimstone Bible passages he often quotes.

"Salvation lies within," advises Warden Norton at one point . Norton disguises his hypocrite . In western world , the Bible leads the mortal to the Paradise . Ironically , Norton commits suicide when his ugly deal publicized to the media . “HIS JUDGMENT COMETH AND THAT RIGHT SOON .” Norton pays his life for his vicious doings .

As to a rock hammer , nobody would connect it with chipping a tunnel out the prison , since it is believed to spend 600 years to finish the task . Andy spends no more than 19 years . It is the rock hammer , to be more precise , his faith and hope , not the bible , saves him out . Bible can not save everyone , but to teach them to self-save .

3.2 Hope VS Institution

“Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free .” The old Brooks is a typical example to be institutionalized . He serves as a librarian in the prison for 50 years or so and he becomes used to it . He fears the outside world . He gets used to lock himself in the prison . Everything changes so that Brooks dosen’t know how to live in an alien outside world . Poor Brooks hangs himself . “Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."” Red’ words is to the point , and also it defines his very being . He fears . He would rather be the very guy in the prison instead of nobody outside .

When he finally realizes the hope underlying in Andy’ mind , he begins to treat things differently . The power of hope defeats institution .

4. Analysis of the intrinsic cause ---Andy’ characters

Before his prison life , he is a superior banker , lived a life with fame and fortune . The impression Andy leaves is calm and upright , introverted and uptight , wordless and thoughtful ,meticulous and patient .

He is extraordinary in his work , but fails in his marriage . “ANDY DUFRESNE, mid－20’s, wire rim glasses, three－piece suit. Under normal circumstances a respectable , solid citizen ; hardly dangerous , perhaps even meek . But these circumstances are far from normal . He is disheveled , unshaven , and very drunk . A cigarette smolders in his mouth . His eyes, flinty and hard , are riveted to the bungalow up the path .” His wife , had an affair with a famous golf pro , and asks divorce . Though Andy is nearly mad at his wife’s misbehavior , he doesn’t surrender or beg her to stay . He raises a bottle of bourbon and knocked it back.. Andy just stands and listens, devastated . He doesn’t look like much of a killer now ; he’s just a sad little man on a dirt path in the woods , tears streaming down his face , a loaded gun held loosely at his side . A pathetic figure , really .

Andy confesses his inner heart with Red one day . To his wife , Andy is a hard man to know , like a closed book . Andy loves her , but he just doesn’t know how to express it . He always seems lonely and sober , never talked much . Facing such a humiliation , he drowns his sorrow in liquor . He isn’t mad enough to kill his wife , though that idea comes to him once but eventually he gives up .

He always bears everything quietly , and receives everything without any complaints . Even in the courtroom , where everything goes against him , he still speaks in soft, measured tones . Andy quietly accepts his unjust imprisonment for two life sentences , calmly . Maybe he won’t be sentenced all life if he defends for himself and

behaves a little more innocent , however , he dose not . Maybe he talks more with his wife , he would have a perfect family , however , he dose not . That is his characters , otherwise , he would not be so thoughtful but lonely . It is partially his characters led to his misfortune . To some extent , Andy is the product of a society that stresses hard work and dedication to ascribed statuses.

At the same time , it is his characters help himself survive in the brutal prison . He is patient , meticulous . Andy is that kind of bird that can never be trapped in a cage . All prisoners in Shawshank are institutionalized except Andy . He strolles like a man in a park without a care or worry in the world , looked as if “he wore an invisible coat that could shield him from the prison” . Unlike the other prisoners at Shawshank , Andy tries to maintain ties to his life outside the walls and simply refused to resignedly accept his role as a prisoner . Andy tells Red at one point , “Better to have Sunday expeditions here (in the prison yard)than no Sunday expeditions at all .”

Nothing can stop Andy’ pursuit for freedom . When it goes to the ending part , Andy’ willing becomes more stronger . Maybe his plan begins as soon as he steps into the prison . He closely approached Red to get a rock hammer , which used to chisel a hole to the outside . His hobby of carving rock sculptures covers his real purpose and shields the sound of chiseling the wall . Andy vividly illustrates his intention to possibility . When the inmates tarring a prison proof , Andy offers unsolicited advice to one guard having financial problems , advice grounded in his own past as a banker ,on condition that three beers apiece for his co-workers .Then he earns a special status in Shawshank by becoming a tax consultant to the guards and warden . His talent slowly earns him the respect of his fellow inmates and even the prison staff . He starves off the forces of institution and remains a free man in spirit if not in flesh . He keeps writing to the State Senate and request funds directly from them Once every week .10 years letters finally made Andy be able to rearrange the prison library , where he gets touch from the outside world . He gradually gains more and more freedom , more and more advantageous to his plan . After

39 years in prison , when everything is preparatory , Andy gets escaped away from the prison in a storming night . He indeed fulfills his ambition . He obtains his freedom .

Andy’s persistence , patience , prudence , as well as his wise contribute to his glorious redemption . Without them , Andy would be institutionalized and never dream for hope and freedom .
